Infrared heaters save energy.
When using infrared heaters we
can afford to decrease the
temperature by a few degrees, but
the "perceived" temperature will remain the same as
the decrease in air temperature
will be offset by "radiation"
additive. The person will feel a higher temperature due to the direct absorption of energy from the device. Lowering the temperature by 1 degree gives 5% energy saving!
Infrared heaters are the only heaters
that allow for zonal or spot heating. In the
case of spot heating in different
parts of the room the different temperature regimes can be maintained. For example, if working places are at a considerable distance from each other,
the premise in a whole should not
have the same temperature. Even from the standpoint of comfort, various
operating situations require different temperatures.
With traditional convection heating
systems, we are faced with the
fact that the air temperature varies in height - the system
has a high temperature gradient. Infrared
heaters allow you to avoid this
waste of the temperature distribution,
since no air is
heated, and the heat is transferred on surface of solid objects. There is no excessive heating of air, temperature is
equalized between floor and ceiling, which allows
for 15-40% energy saving.
